l atented. Dec. 17, 1907.

Application filed May 7.1907. Serial No. 372.419.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALVIN E. CROGKER, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have discovcred a new and Improved Coffee Mixture, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is a composition of in redisubstitute for ordinary commercial coffee, it being a mixture of asparagus berries, figs, and commercial coffee, each roasted'and ground. The Composition consists of ripe as aragus berries, 3 pa -is roasted and ground 5 figs iincly chopped, roasted, and ground, 1 part, and commercial coflee roasted 'and round, 2 parts.

In using the composition to produce a" beverage in which the usual ill eflects of commercial coll'ce will be neutralized, mix the asparagus berries and figs thoroughly, then take one part of such mixture and two parts of commercial coffee, mix them, and

put one (lcsscrt spoonful of the mixture in a cup of boihng water; boil five mmutes, strain myrna.

through fine cloth, and serve with boiling milk or creamand sugar to taste: The coffee properin such beverage imparts its usual flavor, but its injurious eiiects upon tralized by the other ingredients so that a delicious as well as healthful. beverage is produced which few can distinguish from Mocha. l

In roasting the asparagus berries,- the heat should not be so high as to burn them, but

the product of the process should be crisp like well roasted commercial .coffee. The figs should also be treated in the same manner, until they become duly crisp. .By care in this operation, the-desired 00 or and fla- 40 vors of the products will be preserved.

What I claim is; t

A cofi'ee mixture consisting of ground roasted asparagus berries, finely chop ed roasted Smyrna figs, and roasted co ee, substantially in the proportions specified.
